The dessert is always a winner. I have never gotten a bad review when I have cooked it. Also, if you can not find ladyfingers, I would use Vienna fingers(remove the stuffing, which are just as good!

Regarding how to cool the chocolate for the Zabaglione -- after melting the chocolate, remove it from the stove and place off to the side. After the few minutes that the egg mixture takes to cook (only 4-5 minutes, the chocolate will be the correct temperature to easily incorporate. Also, I combined Baileys with the espresso mixture (called for in the dipping process - I only needed about 2 cups liquid overall. The dessert was light, and tasted great. The appearance was nice and it was easy to slice. I would make this again.

I have to say that probably something happened to you during the execution of this recipe. Perhaps the "custard" part was not as thick or creamy as it should be; this is a very important step. I have transformed the Zabaglione into weight measurements and I use it often as cake filling combined with the whipped cream. I have recreated Giada's recipe following her instructions and the tiramisu comes out firm and at the same time soft and super delicious. I even use merlot wine instead of marsala. I have to say that this recipe is super delicious!

OMG this recipe is HORRIBLE! I followed her advise to really whip the cream but i still end up with a super watery tiramisu! it was horrible! the whole thing was like a puddle of mush. and it was bland and flat. not chocolate enough not coffee enough....just tasted horrible. ok maybe some of you think it's my own problem that i 'couldn't' follow the recipe. however,this is not the first time i ever cook and i have decent amount of cooking knowledge. maybe I did do something wrong. but it is only because the recipe is so poorly written that doesn't do what a recipe do.

Fantastic recipe! Following the directions as written made the chocolate zabaglione a little runny (unless you can wait an extra day for the lady fingers to absorb it, but still delicious. If you like espresso, try medium roast Illy beans and brew at home. Many of the Big Name coffee houses brew a bitter sludge, which you won't want anywhere near your dessert. I tried 2 brands of lady fingers, and the Savoiardi were absolutely perfect. This is a new family favorite!

I have tried all my local restaurant tirmisu desserts, and didn't want this one to fall short compared to my past experiences of course. On the scale of Olive Garden up to our best little italian place, I would say this is an 8! The only complaint I had is that the chocolate egg mixture deflated my mascarpone whipped cream mixture so I had to add some cool whip to "puff" it up. It's possible I did not let the chocolate egg mixture cool all the way though.

I served this tiramisu at my husband's birthday dinner party last night, and all guests raved about it. I want to thank all the previous reviewers for their inputs about ingredients and directions; they were very helpful, so do read them before making this tiramisu for the best results.
